Get Up, Get Out! (breakfast 2.11.10)

I feel like I need to escape the house today after being stuck inside yesterday. I have a few things to do so I made up my list and we'll see how many I get to. I got my day started with one of those fruit-filled bran muffins I made yesterday during the no-snow storm.

I was afraid I may have put too much fruit in the muffins (recipe suggested added either banana, apples or raisins and I did all three) but they held their shape and were the perfect moistness. Bran can be very dry so I knew the extra moisture the fruit would add could help that…I just got nervous that I may have gone overboard and they would be too wet. I paired my muffin up with some milk and a banana. Now I have about 9 more to get rid of in the next couple of days. Will ate 3/4 of one for his breakfast but Mike forgot to take his with him to work. I’ll have to pack a few up and have them ready to put right in his bag for tomorrow. I’m glad I can go out of the house and not have to worry about the shoveling and parking issues that a storm brings. I feel so bad for the friends I know in Washington DC — it’s hard to imagine dealing with all that snow, and it makes me even more grateful that we were spared. I’ve actually been trying to make plans to go there for a visit but I think I’ll have to delay a little bit because there is no way I could push a stroller around to see things until at least some of that snow melts away.
